description:
Claire Hope will be contributing to Artranspennine utilising a form that has
become her signature style . Text printed on paper will be afixed to two lowest
panels boarding up front windows. A Matter of Fact focuses on the site as a
transitional space - from industrial usage to a landmark on public path which
sits between two areas of contemporary residential development. The texts, which
recount isolated personal narratives, replace the former window space and partially
enliven the site by characterising an individual project in the organisation
of a public space
